Five Things That Can Go Wrong At The Super Bowl!

1. You think that carrying drugs will not get you in trouble until the bomb sniffing dog singles you out. Drug possession is a serious criminal charge in Texas carrying a wide range of punishments from probation to lengthy prison sentences, depending on the amount of the drug. If you find yourself in this type of situation call an experienced criminal attorney for advice.
2. Injury at a strip club. Much talk has been made regarding the stripper shortage the DFW is facing on Super Bowl weekend. Dallas-area strip clubs, expecting an increase in patrons, are scrambling for exotic dancers to meet the expected demand. The wide media coverage this issue has received has the potential to lead to problems. For example it can lead to couples getting a divorce because the wife signed up to be a stripper or the husband was one of the many expected patrons. Additionally, with so many individuals at strip clubs or bars injury is likely to occur, whether it be drinking and driving, slipping on a wet floor or getting an eye injury. We have all heard of the Florida man who won $650,000 in a settlement for injuries he suffered during a lap dance.  Fergie has a wardrobe malfunction during the half time show. We all remember Janet Jackson’s 2004 Super Bowl half-time show incident. This incident resulted in a record $550,000 fine imposed by the FCC against CBS. This year The Black Eyed Peas will be performing during the half time show. While it is very unlikely that there will be another “accidental wardrobe malfunction” during the half time show, individuals may have their own “wardrobe malfunction” in a public place.  If you have your own public wardrobe malfunction and get charged with indecent exposure or public lewdness call an experienced attorney for advice.Post-game celebration turns into a riot. Fans can either let their happiness or disappointment be known to the world via criminal property damage. Super Bowl rioters have overturned cars, uprooted street signs, and started fires among other things. Regardless of who wins the big game if you are charged with participating in a riot or similar activities call an experienced attorney for advice. Fox Network is blacked out during the game. Imagine you are hosting a Super Bowl Party and just as the game is scheduled to start you realize the channel is not working. You end up missing most of the game and your party is ruined. Can the cable or satellite provider be held liable? This past October a class action was filed against New York based Cablevision. The suit was primarily a response to the blacked out World Series games to Cablevision subscribers. If you face a situation such as this one call an experienced attorney for advice.
